Don't most of the GOP candidates believe they are God's Gift to us? At least Trump, Cruz, and Carson do. You're right, Williamsmith, the resource that no one can fully possess in this case is power, and they're chasing it like a kitten playing with a flashlight instead of looking at what's best for the party, or the country.

I think the best I can hope for now is that nobody has enough delegates to win outright and we head into a brokered convention. Under the rules, about half the delegates are freed up in the second vote and about 80% by the third vote. I'd prefer Rubio to Cruz, but either polls respectably against Clinton, who I would regard as only a slightly lesser tragedy for the country than Trump.
Do you think "the people" would be like this?
"We voted for Trump and now you elitists have removed the man we voted for because you think we are too dumb to pick our own candidates! Screw you!"
Speaking off the record on my own thread:
I have been making fun of this whole process but it is really getting scary. I may be witnessing the hostile takeover of the Republican Party by a power hungry New Yorker. And possibly, my only other option might be to vote for another maybe more progressive power hungry New Yorker. Both have no problem with shredding the Constitution to get what they want. A brokered convention is undoubtedly the course of action The establishment has chosen but I fear they are making a huge mistake by not consolidating behind Cruz. He could possibly stop the madness. And I would be willing to overlook his zealous faults.
